based on the research that WalletHub
as done in order for you to see where each major airline ranks, based on their
overall performance.

Join me a full tour of Aqua Dome, arguably the most iconic thermal spa hotel in Austria, if not the entire Alps. With its floating basins and cone-shaped structure, the eye-catching Aqua Dome Hotel & Spa is both futuristic and fantastical. A combination of luxurious spa facilities and beautiful alpine landscape makes Aqua Dome a great place for a romantic break or a family holiday.
As Austria’s largest tourist project to date, Aqua Dome is located in the beautiful Ötztal Valley, surrounded by the Tyrolean Alps and close to tiny Austrian town of Längenfeld. Here, in 1997, a borehole tapped thermal water from a depth of 1,865 m (6,118 ft) for the first time. A subsequent investment of more than 70 million euros put Längenfeld and the whole of Austrian Tyrol on the map of thermal spa tourism in one go. What followed is a success story that continues to this day. Aqua Dome has welcomed almost seven million guests in the two decades since opening.

Join me on a Business Class flight in Qatar Airways onboard a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Doha (Qatar) to Frankfurt (Germany). Qatar Airways' Business Class on the Boeing 787-9 is sometimes dubbed the mini Qsuite.
The Business Class seat on Qatar Airways' Boeing 787-9 may not be as game-changing as the Qsuite on the Boeing 777 and Airbus A350, but it’s still an excellent and highly enjoyable product. Although Qatar Airways is operating different Business Class seats and layouts throughout its fleet, some thing are (almost) always consistent when flying Business Class with Qatar Airways: excellent food, world-class service, luxurious amenities, and an impressive IFE.
